Hey,
I have a GadgetFilter that should only allow numbers and the '-' (minus) key to be input into a textfield. Everything works, except that I can't input '-'.

Here is the Filter function:

Function NumberFilter:Int(event:TEvent,context:Object)
	If (event.data >= 48) And (event.data <= 57)
		Return 1
	ElseIf (event.data = KEY_BACKSPACE) Or (event.data = KEY_DELETE) Or (event.data = KEY_LEFT) Or (event.data = KEY_RIGHT) Or (event.data = KEY_TAB) Or (event.data = KEY_ENTER) Or (event.data = KEY_MINUS)
		Return 1
	EndIf
	Return 0
End Function

I'm on OSX 10.7 btw.

Without looking or testing.. are you sure KEY_MINUS is the same as the ascii character code (45).

Yes, I tried it with 45 as well.

Try this

Function TextField1_Filter:Int( event:TEvent,context:Object )
	DebugLog "TextField TextField1 filtering text input: "+Chr(Event.data)+"="+Event.Data+","+Event.Mods
	Select Event.ID
	    Case EVENT_KEYDOWN
	        If Event.Data = 45 Then Return True
	    Case EVENT_KEYCHAR
	        If Event.Data = 45 Then Return True
	        If Event.Data => KEY_0 And Event.Data <= KEY_9 Then Return True
	End Select
	Return False
End Function

Pressing minus outputs this:

symbol from link;191,0

Also, when pressing Y it recognizes it as X. I've a german keyboard layout, that means it recognizes it as english?

Aren't those codes not keyboard scancode related?
For example there is no KEY_PLUS because it sits together with another key, which is then language dependent.
